Assistant Clinical Professor Department of Family Medicine University of California at Los Angeles David Geffen School of Medicine Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 2 AGENDA Overview of the three domains Developmental neuroscience Arousal regulation Attachment theory Basic PACT interviewing process Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 3 OVERVIEW OF PACT Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 1

2 Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 4 Attachment Trance Body Social Justice PACT Psychoanalytic Psychodrama / Gestalt Family Systems Neuroscience A Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy 5 PACT Therapists Offer a Unique Mix of Techniques We pay close attention to micro-movements and microexpressions. We pay special attention to all shifts and changes in arousal and affect. We work by using tensing and relaxing within a disjointed interview process focused on regulation. We prefer to stage or create experiences before making interpretations. We evoke problematic mental and emotional states in session and work with them in real time. We make bold statements to get partners to adjust and correct information according to their reality. We speak in plain language in a fearless and open manner to model safety and confidence in the therapeutic relationship Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 6 THE THREE DOMAINS Attachment Theory Arousal Regulation Developmental Neuroscience Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 2

7 Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 19 Types of Arousal Regulation Autoregulation External regulation Self-regulation Interactive regulation Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 20 Autoregulation Primitive form of selfstimulation and self-soothing No other person necessary Others can be used as selfobjects, thus making autoregulation appear interactive Interpersonal stress is reduced or eliminated Can be dissociative Avoidant individuals overuse Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 21 External Regulation Early caregivers are external regulators of the infant s brain and body Therapists often function as external agents who soothe and stimulate patients Partners may function this way, too Process is one-way only Angry resistant individuals overuse Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 7

8 Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 22 Self-regulation Pro-social and pro-self (e.g., impulse control, frustration tolerance, emotion regulation, communication Adults are expected to self-regulate, except those with significant Axis I or II disorders Requires functioning ventromedial prefrontal cortex Frontal lobes exert feedback influence on subcortical structures (e.g., amygdala) Assumes good functioning of ventral vagal system and orbitofrontal cortex Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 23 Interactive Regulation Requires self-regulation under stress conditions to maintain social engagement Often exists in a primitive form in infancy (e.g., infant-caregiver faceto-face, eye-to-eye, skin-to-skin play) In adulthood, process is highly nonverbal, intersubjective, and mutually managed Under mutual stress, sustained eye contact and use of prosody are usually required Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 24 VIDEO Autoregulation versus external regulation Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 8

10 A Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy 28 ATTACHMENT SECURE (Anchor) Collaborative Caregivers do not require regulation Realistic sense of autonomy and relationship Not fearful of engulfment or abandonment Normal expressiveness Capable of cross-modal processing of information High verbal regarding self No difficulty shifting in either direction (solitude-interaction-solitude) Open, insightful, fresh narratives High facial, vocal, and gestural cueing Uses verbal and nonverbal social skills effectively May be guilt based Believes in true mutuality A Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy 29 ATTACHMENT AVOIDANT (Island) Regulation of caregivers self-esteem Aggrandized sense of autonomy Addicted to alone time Low expressiveness Deductive Low verbal regarding self Difficulty shifting from solitude to interaction Filtered, guarded, secretive Low facial, vocal, and gestural cueing Passive-aggressive Shame based My only complaint is that my partner complains. A Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy 30 ATTACHMENT ANGRY RESISTANT (Wave) Regulation of caregivers emotional well-being Aggrandized sense of relationship Allergic to hope High expressiveness Inductive High verbal regarding self Difficulty shifting from interaction to solitude Unfiltered, tangential, too much information High facial, vocal, and gestural cueing Relationship threatening Negativistic, punishing My complaint is that I m overwhelmed Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 10

11 A Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy 31 VIDEO Island, wave and anchor couples Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 32 THERAPEUTIC STANCE Secure functioning Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 33 THERAPEUTIC STANCE In all therapeutic approaches, the therapist takes a stance that suggests his or her beliefs about where therapy should go. This stance must be clear, coherent, and consistent if good therapy is to occur. The PACT therapeutic stance is focused on an expectation of secure-functioning behavior in couple relationship The therapist moves partners down the tube of secure functioning Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 11

12 Characteristics of Secure-functioning Relationships Partners operate as a two-person psychological system Based on attraction not fear Mutually amplified positives/mutually attenuated and foreshortened negatives Truly mutual: good for me and you Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 34 Mutual protection of the primary relational system, in public and private Characteristics of Secure-functioning Relationships, cont. Partners are skilled at quickly shifting one another s state Partners reduce or eliminate threats, quick repair Partners increase reliance on interactive regulation Face to face, eye to eye Tense and relax Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 35 Partners must become experts on each other Characteristics of Secure-functioning Relationships, cont. Partners can handle any conflict without fear of dysregulation Partners are able to resolve issues surrounding near senses Partners increase ability to play Partners are good stewards of their safety and security system Including management of thirds Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved Stan Tatkin, PsyD all rights reserved 12
